From Town Criers to Bloggers: How Will Journalism Survive the Internet Age?

As a US citizen and voter I demand that the FTC immediately STOP the plan discussed in its recently released document, "Reinvention of Journalism". This plan has nothing to offer the American Public and will be opposed by myself at every turn. Stop your attempt to utilize the "Fairness Doctrine" to change our wonderful freedom of press and speech. These two plans, the "Reinvention of Journalism" and the "Fairness Doctrine" have no purpose except to impose a tyranny of govenmental control on our free country. Stop them now! In the November election cycle we the voters will change our government by electing representatives who are honest and care about their and our country. The plans discussed here will be used after November to identify who has abused our country by these horrible attempts to destroy our free press and speech. FTC by these unamerican actions you are creating evidence of your own abuse of America.
